Tomatoes and peppers in a garden using my an old dog kennel.
The dog pen garden in late July of 2013 has exploded. We've had a bunch of rain and it's really helped. The tall plants are tomatoes: hybrid, cherry, and "organic"(whatever that means). The short plants are peppers.
I've done nothing to the soil except add compost made from yard waste and kitchen scraps and I added a few bags of cow manure. So far, so good.
A Container Garden At A Nursery
I was riding my motorcycle in the country, turned a corner, and there was this beautiful place called Timbuk Farms, a local nursery and tree farm. Sites like this are everywhere and as far as the eye can see.
It's amazing that a few miles from here is a decaying city long in decline while there is so much beauty out in these hills in the country. It makes me wonder why we spend so much time, money, and effort trying to save dead industries when Ohio can grow things with ease, no government help or intervention required.
Didn't Mow And I Got Blackberries
I experiment around the yard with things. The results of not mowing some patches of it resulted in a blackberry thicket. The results of this experiment taste great.
Huge Radishes In The Garden
Huge radishes in the garden. As usual, my policy is no chemicals or anything else I don't understand.
To get these to grow, I just planted the seeds, watered when needed, and pulled some weeds(but not all).
Bird Bath In The Snow

Chives From My Front Yard
I planted chives from seed a few years ago and they keep coming back every year. They taste and smell great. Easy gardening.
Japanese Beetles In Blackberries
Japanese beetles are in my blackberries. I'm going to try geraniums and garlic plants. Both are supposed to help.
